We’ve been celebrating in the office recently as Cottages4you have been named Best UK Cottage/Self Catering Booking Company at the British Travel Awards. What makes this accolade extra special is that it’s based on a survey of 220,000 British holidaymakers – meaning we were voted for by you.

As Dee Noble, cottages4you’s Director of Product Marketing, said: “We strive to offer our customers the biggest, best and most varied choice of self-catering properties in Britain. To be recognised for our hard work is tremendously satisfying, but to receive the award from British holidaymakers makes it even more special. We couldn’t be happier!”

British Travel Awards’ Chief Executive Lorraine Barnes Burton said: “The British Travel Awards are widely considered to be the ‘Oscars’ of the travel industry. It’s the largest awards programme in the UK, created to reward travel companies, with the winning accolade being the benchmark for excellence when it comes to finding out who really is the best in the business of travel for the UK consumer. This year, more than any, the competition was fierce and all winners are to be congratulated on their achievement.”

So thanks if you voted, we really appreciate it. We’re going to continue offering only the best self-catering holiday accommodation. Hopefully we’ll see you again in 2011.
